RED ALERT: 7 U.S. Cities Found on ISIS “Kill List”… Spread This Everywhere

In the wake of the Paris terror attacks conducted by the Islamic State group, new attention is being paid to a so-called “kill list” of seven cities in the state of Texas that the group urged lone wolf attackers in the United States to hit.

The list, first released in March, was part of a scare tactic to intimidate U.S. servicemen and their families by listing their names and addresses.

While the Islamic State group claimed that it had found the information by hacking into military servers, The New York Times noted that most of the information to track these servicemen down was readily available publicly.

The Texas cities then targeted by the Islamic State group were Abilene, Bedford, Fort Hood, Killeen, New Braunfels, San Antonio and Wyle. Fort Hood was perhaps the most disturbing, as it had already been the site of an Islamic terror attack back in 2009, when Army Maj. Nidal Hasan killed 13 on the military base in a lone wolf attack inspired by Al Qaeda.

While the larger list contained more than 100 service members in 55 cities and 23 states, Texas had the most targeted cities. According to KPRC-TV in Houston, all of the service members had been notified about the threat.

At the time, the Pentagon had advised these service members to take extra precautions but it did not offer them protection or take them off deployment for their safety.

The state of Texas isn’t the only area of the United States anxious about the terror threat posed by the Islamic State group in the wake of the Paris attacks. New York City officials are also concerned by a new video from the Islamic State group that showed a suicide bomber donning a vest interspersed with images of Times Square and New York’s iconic yellow cabs.

According to Fox News, the video — which also included praise for the terrorists who carried out the Paris attacks — ended with the terror group boasting that “what is to come will be worse and more bitter.”

New York City officials said the city’s residents won’t be frightened by such threats.

“Be aware, but do not be afraid. The NYPD will protect you,” NYPD Chief William Bratton said. “We cannot be intimidated, and that’s what terrorists seek to do. They seek to create fear. They seek to intimidate. We will not be intimidated, and we will not live in fear.”
